Overall Experience

February 15, 2024 Transformative And Empowering

I found a community of like-minded people, and a discipline that inspires me. This experience opened my mind to modes of education and an application of academic learning that was empowering. A student - Middlebury College

About

Started in 2011, the Semester in Sustainable Design/Build is an ongoing partnership between Yestermorrow Design/Build School (Waitsfield, VT) and UMass Amherst’s Department of Architecture (Amherst, MA). Operating annually from mid-August to mid-December, the Semester Program takes up to 15 undergraduates and recent graduates through an architectural design process to the substantial completion of a single, high-performance, year-round structure. Students, while completing a 15-credit course load, receive instruction in design, assembly and detailing, and building performance while exploring group process, definitions of sustainability, and relevant contexts. This full-immersion, credit-bearing semester in green building and design complements architecture, building science, engineering, and environmental design majors and has wide application in liberal arts curricula
